The business world can be tough—boardrooms can feel like battlefields, and new ideas can be as hard to squeeze out as water from a turnip. When you need to recharge and gain a fresh perspective, take time to step away. Go for a hike or spend an hour fishing. Personally, I like to get outdoors as often as possible because it helps me reset and see things more clearly.

We live in a fast-paced, chaotic world where we’re constantly chasing the next deal or project. But when we step outside that rhythm and allow the mind to rest, great ideas often emerge. It usually takes about fifteen minutes for the brain and body to adjust to a calmer environment—once they do, your thinking begins to shift. Unforced ideas bubble forward.

Here’s an example. I was brainstorming new products to help grow my small “good works” business. The more I earn, the more I can give back. Frustrated and stuck, I decided to go fishing. Within minutes, I noticed the stillness of the water, the cool air, and the warmth of the sun on my face. For a brief moment, I felt connected to what life must have been like for our ancestors—fishing, foraging, and living in rhythm with nature. Suddenly, the chaos faded, and everything felt simpler and more natural.
